A Woman of Cairo
A Woman of Cairo

Star-crossed lovers navigate war-torn Cairo's upheavals.

If you're drawn to epic love stories set against the backdrop of historical events, "A Woman of Cairo" might be the right book for you. As the world teeters on the brink of World War II, the richly described setting of Cairo becomes more than just a backdrop; it's almost a character in itself, adding depth to the poignant love triangle and the struggle against the impending war. For anyone who enjoys a personal story interwoven with real-world conflicts, this book could provide both an emotional and educational experience.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Son and daughter of diplomats in Cairo, the gentle Serena Pasha and Mark Holt are privileged and attractive, growing up in a magical world of champagne breakfasts and midnight picnics at the pyramids. Their lives entwined since childhood, they grow ever closer as adults. Yet Serena's hand has been promised not to Mark, but to his brother, Greg. As World War II speeds closer to Cairo, a shocking accident gives these young lovers a second chance—but with this chance comes terrible danger. Egypt is threatened not only by the German army but by nationalist forces within Cairo determined to end the British occupation at any cost. The country torn apart, and enemies everywhere, Mark and Serena's love is tested to the limit.
